basic FUNCTION
  • glycosylation independent of Golgi associated glycosylation
  • catalyzing the transfer of fucose from GDP- beta-fucose to alpha-2,3 sialylated substrates
  • FUT6 is a key mediator of Prostate carcinoma cells trafficking to the bone marrow (BM)
  • FUT3/FUT6 has an essential role in cancer cell adhesion to endothelial cells by upregulation of sialyl Lewis antigens and also by enhancement of cancer cell migration through TGFB1-mediated EMT
